I think the answer I gave you was hardly ridiculous. I didn't put anything about Jesus Saves, The Bible is the ultimate truth, verbatim, Adam and Eve WERE the first humans, 7 days, means 7 calendar days, using our modern day calendar, etc., whether that's what I personally believe or not.

i don't get the question. who are you talking to about wife beating?

I was using it as an example of why some questions cannot be answered "yes" or "no" even though they are framed that way. Worm wanted his god question answered either yes or no, but it isn't that simple.

In my example, if the question is "are you still beating your wife?" and you answer yes, that implies that you have, and continue to, beat your wife. If you answer no, it implies that you did at one time beat your wife, but have stopped.

By wording the question in such a manner, and demanding a yes or no answer, he has set up a condition that excluded the possibility that you NEVER HAVE beaten your wife. It's a loaded question, not a valid argument.

The beauty of it all Hip is once they do make the decision to turn around, Christ will be standing right there. He never abandons us, ANY of us. He is standing on the porch, waiting for you to open the door and invite him in.
